Here is a great way to get involved on an individual level.
One of the great things going on in the Congo is the Global Fingerprints Orphan Sponsorship Progam through the EFCA.
One of the greatest struggles of the region is a high population or orphans. Many due to AIDS and the recent civil war.
GlobalFingerprints is a chance for you to help out. For $25 per month, you can help provide essentials for a child who has lost one or both parents.
There a many great child sponsorship programs out there, but what I really like about this one is that it is being run by the local church and needs are being met at a very specific and individual level. For now the program is only focused on this area of the Congo.
Our family just started sponsoring a young girl.
Here is a video that does a WONDERFUL job of explaining the program.

You haven't heard from me during this whole trip, but now I would like to "weigh in". Bringing this team from our home church to Congo was a dream come true. I know how much Hope has to offer, I know how much the Congolese church has to offer, and connecting our church with our brothers and sisters in the Congo Evangelical Free Church will only serve to bless and strengthen both! Helping lead this team was a privilege. Watching their response to and interaction with their new friends in Congo, and hearing their very good questions and processing of what God has showed them has made me enormously proud of them.
Thank you to each of your who has supported and prayed for this team. You have brought Hope to Congo in more ways than one. May the Church be the Church!
Serving Him with you,
Rachel Bliss
